Live Ledge #280: 1987
1987 may have been my favorite year ever. I had no worries. I worked in a record store during the day, and DJ'd at a club during the night. Many journeys were made to other cities to see shows, and any free time was spent...well, partying.
So tonight (and a future Live Ledge airing) is the soundtrack of that time. Obviously, I have too much music just for one show, so sometime later this year there will be another celebration to 1987.
There's a wide range of styles on tonight's show, from British pop to garage-rock to punk and beyond. Obviously, there's a section devoted to my favorite records of that year - Pleased to Meet Me by The Replacements and Husker Du's Warehouse.
I hope you enjoy this little celebration. It's been a lot of fun to put together! Grab this via iTunes or Stitcher, or...
